Sad New Day

Hang, it's as dark as the night
Keeps you uptight, forever you're plied
You try to break the bondage you experience
Deranged, delirious, mentally serious
Tell me, how do I break the chains
On my brain, my mind, my body, my soul, I need total control
Of my freedom and my liberty, when will it be for all?
The Berlin walls must fall
The physical torture and mental oppression
The anguish of depression, life is a lesson
That you gotta study hard because of hard times
Hot rippin' and whippin', quit slippin'
Don't be a slave, just create a positive fate
Don't break, just make, then take, be great
Don't be controlled, just be strong, never doubt your tomorrow
And we'll hear you scream out

Sad new day go away
Sad new day go away

When it rains, it pours, pain is a force
Happiness your source, keep goin' for yours
I know that Dante put you in the inferno
But pain you'll learn though is not eternal
So now you're in the dungeon, on the wall you hang
You try everything, the pendulum still swings
You're down on your knees and prayin' "Oh my God
Tell me why this life has to be so hard
Is it all in the cards? Yeah? Give me a new one
And maybe life won't be so lonely and gruesome"
But I'ma tell you, son, before you begin
Even with a bad hand, you can bluff and win
Put your chips on the table, you're able to do the task
Unmask the executioner, take his axe
And break the chains that bind and confine your mind
This is your time, unleash and unwind, put pain behind
Climb out of the pit of darkness
And start this new breed, for this is what we need
Don't be held down and hellbound, be strong and profound
I'm passin' the leather that's strappin' you down
Dig down and get up and you'll be swingin' the soul sound
A new day is comin', the sun don't frown
Don't conform, be confined or obey
Nelson Mandela breathes the air of a new day
But now you're a number in the prison of a hardened soul
But be brave and behave and you'll make your parole
So there's hope (And hope is a blessed thing)
Over the horizon, I see the sun, I hear you sing

Sad new day go away
Sad new day go away
Sad new day go away
Sad new day go away

Solar energy within me
All through me
It's a sun full of light bringin' power and might
Alright, makin' everything start to swing
You be the king or queen of your own dream
Life can be supreme, it's a special thing
Just keep the faith through the nighttime
Operate smooth and you might find
All of the lovin' and bliss, the joy, a happy deal
Friendship and jubilee, you live the Elysian Fields
For real, you need to feel unchained and free
Into the mi-fi-me
And you are in the rat race, so put on your gym shoes
Run emphatically, step on them blues
Choose the right path and be on your way
And you'll be able to say
What a wonderful life
